Signs Of A Flailing Campaign

Obama is out of answers, and so what is he doing about it? Well it appears he is ripping ideas from the news media and from political cartoons.


Glenn Beck points out that Olbermann gave Obama a bit of advice to work against McCain and it seems that Obama took it to heart.


OLBERMANN: At your convention, maybe the most compelling speech in Denver was that one strongly voiced word, "Enough." A lot of people who have felt angry about what's been done to this country in the last seven or eight years have that same sense of urgency and simplicity to it. Have you thought of using on the campaign trail and in your speaking engagements more exclamation points? Have you thought of getting angrier?


Now read the words of Obama when responding to the "lipstick on a pig" comment


OBAMA: Because then we go another year or another four years or another eight years without addressing the issues that matter to you. Enough!


Now check out this cartoon from Sept. 5th. Obama almost echoes it word for word.

OBAMA:
John McCain says he's about change too. Exce- and and so I guess his whole angle is - watch out, George Bush - except for economic policy, healthcare policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy, and Karl-Rove-style politics, we're really gonna shake things up in Washington.
That's not change.
That's that's just callin' sumpin' the same thing somethin' different.
But you know, you can't, you know, you you can put, ah, lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.
